20150230157 | PRUNING A CELL IN CELLULAR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Aspects for pruning a spurious cell are provided for a user equipment (UE). At the UE, based in part on transmission gap pattern sequence (TGPS) information received from a serving cell of the UE, a search period for measurement events for cells in a database different from the serving cell is determined. Among the cells in the database in the UE, a candidate cell is selected. Among a plurality of measurement reporting event time-to-triggers (TTTs) associated with the candidate cell, a smallest measurement reporting event TTT is determined. Further, based at least in part on the search period and the smallest measurement reporting event TTT value associated with the candidate cell, a cell age pruning threshold for the candidate cell may be determined. The cell age pruning threshold may be used to determine whether to prune the candidate cell from the database. | 08-13-2015 |
20150237055 | Network Access and Control for Mobile Devices - Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable content controls to be implemented by a modem of a mobile device to ensure the controls are implemented regardless of whether an application processor of the mobile device has been rooted.
